Aerospace engineering is primarily concerned with the design and analysis of aircraft and spacecraft. Subfields include aerodynamics, structures, controls and propulsion systems. Students at Florida Tech who choose to earn an aerospace engineering degree at Florida Tech are part of a prestigious program listed among the Fiske Guide's "Engineering/Top Technical Institutes" and Parade Magazine's College A-List in Engineering. Whether you want to design aircraft, develop new methods of propulsion or be part of the team for space exploration, an aerospace engineering degree from Florida Tech is the one you want. Here, you'll develop a strong background in engineering and get hands-on experience in fields like aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Aerospace engineers hold jobs in industries that employ workers to design or build aircraft, missiles, systems for national defense, research and development and the federal government. Today's aerospace engineering career involves use of sophisticated computer equipment, modeling, simulations and evaluation.
